Scientology's 'Alien Space Cathedral' Described In John Sweeney's New Book Church Of Fear

He famously lost his temper during a Panorama investigation into the Church of Scientology, and now reporter John Sweeney has revealed how he attempted to visit the cult’s desert lair, which is emblazoned with a message to aliens that can apparently be seen from space.

In an excerpt from his new book Church of Fear, Sweeney tells of his journey into the New Mexican desert to view the group's “space alien cathedral”.

Sweeney's tome, which goes on sale on 7 January 2013 via Silvertail Books, details what he describes as the Church’s attempt to “destroy” him and speaks to former Scientologists who tell heart-breaking stories of families torn apart and lives ruined.
